There was little expense in the old days. They built their own shack, grew their own food, and if they got sick, let em die.

There were slaveholders who actually did pay for their slaves' medical attention. There is a letter from a slave owner in Tennessee that he wrote to his escaped slave in Ohio once he found out where he was. This happened during the Civil War. The slaveholder offered the escaped slave his freedom if he would come back to Tennessee and work for him for pay.
The slave answered him that he already had been given his freedom by a Yankee officer in either Tenn. or Kentucky and was already working a job in Ohio where he got paid every week. He then told the slave holder that he could send X dollars to him in Ohio as his wages for the time that the slaveholder had worked him. the escaped slave mentioned that the slaveholder could deduct fifty dollars from that amount to pay for the dentist who came on two separate occasions, to pull one of his teeth and one of his wife's teeth while both were still working for the slaveholder.
From this letter, it does appear that slaveholders did make some medical attention available to slaves. It would make sense. If you spent all that money on a slave, you wouldn't want him to die before his time or stay sick too long. Dead or sick slaves can't work.
They should be put in jail. I had to ride GHETTRO to Union Station today, unfortunately.
I get off & go to the gate. This baboon & she-boon are in front of me. They don't take out a card, they just bust thru the gate without paying. Nobody said anything to them.
Why do I have to pay & they don't. Why do I have to pay taxes for something to haul negroes around for free.
I'll NEVER vote for another Democrat again, EVER.
Denocrats and negroes ALL should be shipped to prison camps. Put Sheriff Joe in charge of them.

Prison camps would be expensive. A rope and a tree is a lot cheaper.
